Someone in your life should have told you by now that you’re off-putting. Maybe nobody cares enough to do so, and it unfortunately fell to me to fill that role. So be it.
But you are, quite unwittingly, a perfect exemplar of the sort of person who would support generative slop.
So…thanks for that.

Yeah, “lack of ability” referred to critical thinking and basic logic skills, not to art skills. And your inability to discern that sort of answers the question.
You are raising stupid arguments because you genuinely can’t do better. For the record, that is the better of the two.

Weird nerds whose inadequacies lead them to use the plagiarism engine instead of thinking are made to feel ashamed for using something harmful. To the point that they will react, petulantly, when called out. That’s a very successful “crusade”. One that you are, just by being yourself, assisting with

I could have typed “semi-comatose crab being force-fed reality by a refined robot” into the idiot box and have it pop out a picture, but pointing out the degree of moral and intellectual failure required to liken using existing man-made pictures to using generative slop is much more fun.

Other than actually using human art, not wasting energy, not supporting plagiarism, not enriching billionaires, not supporting the weakening of thought or human creativity, using a gif that someone created is exactly the same as using generative slop.

The next time I see someone defending a generative slop art and the art is actually funny and isn’t an idea that a creative and intelligent person would struggle to convey in words…will be the first time I’ve seen it.
It is a mediocrity engine.

So, are you making the stupid argument because of a general lack of ability, or is it more of a bad-faith thing?

The generative slop here, like in most places, adds nothing. It doesn’t make the joke funnier. It doesn’t make it smarter. Or more impactful. It just helps burn the planet so mediocre minds can see a picture rather than read words.

“It’s only making the world worse a little bit” is a pretty weak argument in favor of the plagiarism machine that turns mediocre ideas into bad art.

It is really weird to be the sort of person who uses words to defend using generative slop by pretending that you can’t communicate a joke with words.

Reality: the “jeans” thing was largely overblown and mostly a smokescreen designed to trick weak, overly-online minds with poor critical thinking skills into thinking progressives were angry

I always thought healthcare by itself was not enough. But it has one benefit: simplicity. “You’re going to spend thousands of dollars you may not have or you’re going to lose coverage. Because of Republicans.”
Boom, easy. Now it’s “well they weren’t going to cave…and airports…and secret procedure…”

“Significant numbers of people cannot have the same quality of life, including the things that make life worth living, working the same amount of hours as older generations” is a perfectly understandable definition of “affordability crisis” and not grasping that is either intentional or embarrassing
